It turns out I’m a rat!! It’s not all bad though because it tells me I’m an Earth Rat, a honest, flexible, modest, serious, with a strong sense of self-esteem. I would agree with most of that, but I’m not sure about the self-esteem. This is the website I visited (in case you are interested) https://www.chinahighlights.com/travelguide/chinese-zodiac/<br /><br />I know what you mean about feeling ancient – I think I will stick to human years from now on. :-) <br />Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05962552429792516213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4496559191887463909.post-56543068836570499662017-07-18T22:29:22.479+01:002017-07-18T22:29:22.479+01:00These sketches are absolutely wonderful.
